Is there relief for Agricultural Properties?​

Who pays for the referendum?

Ag2School Credit
Yes! Agricultural properties will see relief in taxes thanks to the Ag2School Tax Credit on school bonds that phases to 60% for taxes payable in 2022 and 70% in 2023. This tax credit is permanent law enacted by the Minnesota Legislature in 2017 to lessen the impact of school building projects on farmers.
